Traditional tyrolean Baking

The ORIGINAL TYROLERAN PRÜGELTORTE derives from the Brandenberg in Tyrol. For generations, the people of Brandenberg have been making this cake for every festivity; family parties, weddings, christenings, traditional holidays: this very special cake is cooked over an open fire.

Made from eggs, butter, sugar and flour and worked to an „Eischwerteig“; a local name meaning the same measurement for each ingredient based on the weight of the eggs.
The Prügel pastry is put into a cone of parchment paper and slowly dripped in layers over a specialist iron spit operated by a cranking mechanism. The spit continues without a break working each layer of pastry until it forms a fixed consistency baked golden brown by the open fire.
During the two hours baking time, a steady and constant control of the mechanism is needed to create the perfect form with its golden brown colour and characteristic peaks.
